The first Asian Immigrants to arrive in Brazil were a small number of Chinese People (3.000), during the colonial period. However, significant immigration from Asia to Brazil started in the late 19th Century , when immigration from Lebanon and Syria became important. But most Asian Brazilians are associated with East Asian immigrants, most of them Japanese . The first Japanese immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1908 . Until the 1950s , more than 250 thousand Japanese immigrated to Brazil. Nowadays, the Japanese-Brazilian population is estimated at 1.5 million people.
